My little words on Facebook earlier.. It’s never nice to lose at Wembley. Especially to a football club as stupid as Sheffield bloody Wednesday. My only positive is this big, lovely, gentle man of football. I’m happy for him & him alone.. He took his team to 96 points, 23 games unbeaten. Usually enough for automatic promotion. Lost twice to us, granted.. YET. Suffered dreadful, disgraceful, personal & racial abuse from his own club supporters. & is likely to be fired despite eventual promotion, by the fools at S6. Here’s big Darren Moore, in a Barnsley shirt, at the tail end of his playing career. Guarding our goal. In the words of dear Lou Reed- ‘I wanna play football for the coach.. & I’m gonna play football for the coach..’ Well done, big man. You’re loved here, if not there..
Speaking of Bannan, look at him getting subbed off trying to avoid taking a penalty (which is what it was looking like), when as easily the highest paid players he should have been kept on to take one.
Maybe its the best or only way to play against us. But I thought they looked like a side who were struggling without ideas, and they went long far too much. Its nice though when you can also rely on bad refs to help you through it, almost every time.
I think a few fans are kind of in the middle there. But on yesterday's showing and against the Posh as well, everything has kind of just luckily gone his way. More than a touch over rated, possibly.
As a person I wish nothing but the best for Darren. After the massive personal abuse he has suffered he has remained calm and focused when it would have been easier to walk away from the vile scum who masquerade as fans. However I wouldn't want him to manage us. He's as dull as ditchwater and imo tactically inept.
